Anies's Love Letter To The Sluice Officer

JAKARTA - The Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan gave a letter of "love" to the gatekeeper.

This letter was delivered when checking the condition of the Manggarai sluice gate to monitor the flow of water downstream of the Ciliwung river, as well as the readiness of the sluice guard officers.

In his review on Wednesday, February 17, Anies also appreciated giving gifts to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Water Resources Agency on duty.

The letter is put in an envelope. On white paper, Anies wrote sentences of praise to the sluice officials. Not to forget, he put his signature in the lower left corner of the letter.

"Fellow field officers who manage water flow, on behalf of the DKI Jakarta Provincial government and Jakarta residents, let me express my highest appreciation for the efforts, work and work so far in caring for and protecting Jakarta," said Anies in the letter.

According to Anies, the work of floodgate officers is often not known to the public. However, the task of the officers in the eyes of Anies is a big and noble job in a city full of challenges like Jakarta.

"The work of all brothers and sisters is often invisible to the wider public, not celebrated by the media, but the benefits are felt every day. Keeping this city friendly to nature ensures that water is a gift and not a disaster," said Anies.

Anies conveyed his warm greetings and respect to the families of the officers. Anies understands that officers are often forced to sacrifice being with their families for work. Moreover, during the rainy season like now.

"Tell them, we are proud of you. I am sure that your family also feels that pride," he said.
